AN'EISKIIDDIHG DEVICE.

regimes ,Zo all whom it may concern:

-Ee it .znownthat we, .Josnerr WILoe and I .-JOSE1?H CARTER a subject oi the of Great Britain and. a citisen of the barbed States, 4 respectively, residing at Pewtucket,

in thejcounty of Providence and State of Rhodelsiand, have invented cerigain new and 'use fu1.. Improvements in .Annskiciemg De- I l e other vehicle wheels to prevent skidding.

- The essentielobjccts or" the invention are to facilitate the application and removal of 7 the device;-to present to the tire and adjacent parts no abreding or cutting" surface; to provide a simple, secure and is 2161151176 means for attaching or connecting the constitucnt parts; so avoid rustyand to insure lightness.

nion consists of such of parts as fall wlthm the scope of the ap pended claims.

To the above ends essentially our inven arts and combinations In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a. side elevation o"? a portion of a'wheei with our novel rievice engaged there'wich,

Fig. 2-; a side elevation of one of the traciiion sections deli'ached, with the traction or tread inelnher bro en away and one the clips shown in section,

Fig. 3, a like elevation of one or Fig. i, a detail view of? one of loops, and

Figs. 5 and 6, sections on lines 5--5 61-6 respectively of Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.

In the drawings '2' represenss suitable automobile or similar vehicie Wheel. har

is in conjunction with such r wheeithob our novel deviceis most adv. pioyed.

the same, and". Whose ends are tighflv hent 5 inwardly to embrace said portions. Each loop tightly embraces a concavo convexgaivanized ring 17, the concave portion 18.

, thereof forming a seat for the loop and the convex snriace 19 forming a smooth and I non corrosive protecting surface for the same. The ring cooperates with the adjacent clamp to preserve the contour of the loop.

The traction members comprise in each instance a rope body 21 having upon its ends arsaehin members. Each of the latter comprises a oarrel or bogiy 22 provided with a bore 23 for the reception of the rope strip.

'Fins 24 diametrically fixed in the body pass through the rope c116. and firmly secure the pars-s. Upon the end of'the body is a neck 25 provided Wi'ili a perforation 26 with a '5 read 24., and incegrai with the end of the armies a semi-annular finger 28. In the fornerd end of the hoci v at the base of the neck ES an engnier snapeci cavity 30. Cooperating with the section comprising the elements 25 end 28 is a :removehie secsion consisting of shank coinciding with the neck 25 and 8% semiennuiar 33 whose extremity sem s eXr-rennty of the finger 28,

for; a resnicant ring 3 and a'circular a? n openr 8e, .rhe end or the shank 32 has a i i so 36 m register with the inof angular cavity 30 in which ed of the shank is seated to preescape of the shank to induce contact with the neck one p screw 40 Whose threads 111 she rnreads of the perforaends of cehies are connected in any es in time instance they on 3 8 the sharirregisiers 913 ion 26, and. through -Lhese s perailel ce 7 the series of icons 153. in i 32. 35 is removed and. ice

Weclaim:- p p 1. In an antiskiddmg device, the comb1na- 5 .tion'of flexible retaining cable's, spaced loops integral with, the cable comprising parallel contacting. portions, rings received-within seid loops, clamping devices embracing the the traction members innation of retaining-cables, a series of loops 15 formed in the cables, concavo convex rings signatures.-

and coupling e ements engaging the rings.

-in which the loops are seated, clamping o, v vices embracin the loops adjacent the rlngs,

" 3. In an anti-skidding device, the 'combination of rope cables, loops integral with the cables, rings inthe loops, clamping devices binding the loops at their junction with the cables, and flexible tire-embracing members having at opposite ends means .for cooperationwith said rmgs'to hold. said tire-embracing members against displacement.

In-testimony whereof we have affixed our JOSEPH WILDE. v JOSEPH CARTER.
